Step Forward Michigan

We are pleased to announce a new State resource for property tax assistance.

Or call: (866) 946-7432

Washtenaw County residents who qualify for the program can receive up to $30,000 in one-time assistance to pay past due property taxes, or taxes and mortgage payments combined.

Homeowners who all ready received Hardest Hit assistance cannot re-apply, however clients that previously applied and were ineligible because they were outside program parameters may reopen their application under the updated guidelines. Please visit www.StepForwardMichigan.org to apply, or for more information on the program.

The basic eligibility requirements are:

The applicant is listed as an owner on the property

For properties with primary residence only

Household has less than 1 1/2 times the annual property tax available in cash and savings
